6.3 – Ventilated façade cladding systems – 3. Shingle cladding system 381 System features • strong visual impact and the possibility of cladding complex construction geometries; • individual elements of dimensions and geometry freely adaptable to the project; • maximum recommended shingle length up to 2.0 m (in special cases it can be increased to a maximum value of 3.0 m); • recommended shingle width ≤ 500 mm; • titanium-zinc thickness 0.7 – 0.8 – 1.00 mm; • maximum freedom in the customization of the cladding; • overlap with hooked welt and indirect fixings with retractable brackets. Substructure The shingle system wall cladding falls into the category of non-self-supporting systems. The shingles are installed on a continuous wooden support (layers of parallel boards or panels) or on a continuous metal support in corrugated sheet. Compensation for thermal expansion In shingle cladding, the thermal expansion of the material is managed and absorbed by each individual "tile" of the façade. The variations in the length and width of the shingles are compensated by the longitudinal and transversal joints with simple welt. Rectangular shingles with inclined direction and joints with constant staggering Continuity of the longitudinal joint at the top of the façade EXCERPT
